    PCSPECIALIST RTX 3080

    Hey folks, any advice on PSUs as I'm concerned that this may end up being a blocker to my AMD 3900 / GTX 3900 build (due to enter the building on Friday). I'd previously upgraded to 1000W RMx given the shortage of 850W RMx but these have now gone to pre-order mode. Would I be ok downgrading to...

    I'd probably give it a couple of days. I'm due in next Monday and have promised myself I'll only endure the wait times (assuming web chat doesn't work) if no update by late aftenoon on Wednesday :ROFLMAO:

    PCSPECIALIST Which RGB Case Please?

    You should switch to 2x16GB RAM so that you can upgrade to 64GB in the future. Also you might consider the Crosshair over the Strix MOBA given the power of the 3090. Apart from that it looks like hell of a machine.

    PCSPECIALIST RTX 3080

    There was a post last week from a PCS rep that specifically said the 850W was a bottleneck. You can upgrade to a 1000W for a trivial amount. In terms of posting a full spec, I just take a screenshot of my full order, trim it in paint and then just cut and paste it as a photo. You've only given...

    PCSPECIALIST RTX 3080

    Post your full build please :). As I've mentioned previously the biggest culprits for delays assuming you're not waiting on a 59xx series CPU is either your case choice, PSU (850W have been in short supply) or potentially MOBA if you'd gone for a Crosshair. If you've got none of these you...

    I am too (25/1 currently)... it's because we've switched to 3090 so in theory are in a "all parts in stock" production queue.

    CORSAIR 275R TEMPERED GLASS GAMING CASE Change to: NZXT H511 MID-TOWER GAMING CASE (BLACK) I'm not into the whole RGB lights thing so fairly boring case choices

    PCSPECIALIST RTX 3080

    Yeah, it's the cases and PSUs that seem to be the biggest issue in terms of causing delays (assuming you're not on any of the pre-order items). I recently used that as an excuse to buy a slightly nicer case :D. The Crosshair MOBA was also out of stock for a while but I believe they got an...

    Sweet that does feel pretty consistent. Good luck mate, let us know when it goes into the building. You confident all the small components in your build are in stock...e,g, case, PSU?

    18 days pre-prod, switched on Monday 4th Jan. What CPU are you?

    PCSPECIALIST RTX 3080

    Also interested in this having also switched to the 3090 (and getting a 3950X CPU). I've had two automated build emails and so far both have said build date of 25/1 so we'll see what happens....

    Thanks SpyderTracks, I bumped it up to the 1000W RMI

    PCSPECIALIST RTX 3080

    Hi Ghosthud, I'm only on 13 days pre-prod but having upgraded to the 3090 on Monday I didn't think my build had any stock issue (3950x CPU) and was just now waiting for the normal production queue. I have however selected this same 850W PSU. What would you suggest I change to so as to keep my...

    PCSPECIALIST Switch 3080 to 3090 for a faster build?

    Switching to the 3090 will accelerate your order (take it to the mean 20-30 days build time), so long as you're not on a pre-order CPU as well (like the new AMD 5900s).

    Thanks dude. What's the main benefits of the Crosshair VIII? **EDIT: Quick google suggests that it's the extra RAM speed?**

    PCSPECIALIST RTX 3080

    This is my rig, spoke to PCS today and they've confirmed that all parts are in stock so i'm now in the "normal build queue". Upgraded to 3090 to effectively not have to wait for a 3080 and went for a 3950x CPU given the wait time for the 5 gen
